In the grand scheme of things, the burger wasn&#39;t such a bad thing, and I do feel satisfied now that I&#39;ve had it. I had steak the next day, but by then, the craving was gone!<br /> <br />I was wondering about iron deficiency too - I have to have a routine blood test at the docs in a week or two, so I&#39;ll ask them to check the iron while they&#39;re at it.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103117824751433119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651150890972039176.post-51902417701719189452010-06-23T12:34:41.606+01:002010-06-23T12:34:41.606+01:00Christie, I am of the belief that the constant &#3...Christie, I am of the belief that the constant &#39;fighting it&#39; is what gives us hang-ups about food. I think every now and again we can &#39;consciously&#39; indulge, as you did yesterday. (This is from the woman who is losing weight at a snail&#39;s pace, mind you!) <br /><br />I had the &#39;I just HAVE to have a jam doughnut&#39; episode not long ago. I got the jam doughnut craving out of my system. You did that with the burger I hope, although it wasn&#39;t the bloody steak you desired. At least your craving contained protein and iron. (Thinks: You aren&#39;t iron deficient are you?) And OMG - you paid for fries but declined them! That is brilliant! You are doing so well! That was the sensible approach to the burger/meat craving. No real damage done.Fat Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563154952353175490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651150890972039176.post-58529261931481273532010-06-23T07:44:06.495+01:002010-06-23T07:44:06.495+01:00That post here touched a number of very raw (excus...That post here touched a number of very raw (excuse the pun) nerves for me.<br /><br />It&#39;s that food alcoholism thing again, I&#39;m sure of it, you did very well there just burgering it, if it had been me relenting to my cravings it would have been 3 Bic Mac meals, a huge curry to follow and then loads of ale.<br /><br />What is going on there?
